Hmm, if the distortion doesn't show up in a screenshot, it'd be hard to write a self-checking unit test. It could still be a JOGL bug instead of a driver bug, though. Perhaps the glXGetFBConfig/glXChooseFBConfig is failing to handle GLX_STEREO properly, or an illegal attribute is being passed into XCreateWindow when GLX_STEREO is requested.

At that link I sent, there are detailed instructions on how to build JOGL (including how to turn on debug symbols), so you might want to build it, link your project against your custom build, and do a little stepping in the debugger. The problem could be something obvious that's just never been tested. Just make sure you've got the latest driver before you go looking -- you don't want to waste your time looking for a bug that nvidia may have already fixed

We welcome any contributions -- please let me know if you need help building JOGL or debugging through it
